Wow that’s a clean one for the age it looks great ,older sports bikes just offer so much bang for the buck , merry Christmas and ride safe 👍

Get rid of that silly exhaust. It’s Pointless loud and ruins the beautifully smooth linear power. Sell it and put the original stainless and titanium one back on. If you want to waken it up , put race gearing on it. Honda fitted lazy road going to work gearing they always do. You can still ride like a girl just go up a gear. Honda HRC really knew what they were doing with the original exhaust I rode quite a few with expensive aftermarket flat bottom and midrange droning ear splitting exhaust and apart from being noisy slow and unresponsive they don’t even look or feel or fit has good. Also I’d do some reading about the spec and design and how much HRC was involved in this design and build. I’ve owned a lot of newer blades. They come, they disappoint and they go again. Ive owned 3 RR5’s all from new and still have a repsol in the workshop with a few hundred miles on the clock. I’ve just sold all my Ducati’s don’t think I’ll ever buy another. My first Ducati was a sp3 888. The list after that would take a wile all sp or sps’s. The blade is a superior bike than the lot of them put together. Your model is faster 0/60. Faster quarter mile and higher torque than a new one. Or at least it was before the arrow drain pipe was fitted. Yours is a lovely example if your not going change the exhaust at least. Try riding an original cbr1000rr5. And remember any upgrades on the RR6/7. Fit your bike. But you won’t find a better bike for any amount of money. Ducati and BMW copied the that. And couldn’t not win every class of racing I’ve owned RC30’s and 45’s the blade is the evolution of all Honda racing. Honda went backwards for years after this bike. Ask John McGuinness are they any good. Check a 2004 RCV2 see how much of the bike has more than a passing resemblance. You’d be surprised how many people involved in racing have a 4/5/6/7 blade sat in there garage at home. In my opinion it’s the best all around race/ road superbike ever made. Can’t honestly think of anything that even comes close. Hey just saying.

HONDA FOREVER!

One of the few bikes I haven’t owned!!! Want to get one soon.

Thank you for doing an in-depth review of motorcycle versus everyone else getting on a race and talking about as they drive down the road

what in the actual heaven this thing is just wholesome a complete hardcore old school superbike im really thankfull to youtube reccomendation for this video lovely bike bro i cant describe my love for cbr's once again it was a "w" decision to get this beast and yep u gained a sub +1, ;) i ll wait for ride videos!

I love it, mine has a Repsol "dress"... 🙂🤘

I have a 2005 Honda cbr1000rr repsol that looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Never plan on parting with it if I can help it they are awesome machines.

Iv got a original full exhaust system for rr4 rr5 if your interested and also glad your keeping the bike there great Iv had mine from new 2004

Hi I’ve got a 954 , it’s a great bike as was my old RRP. I’d definitely like to own the RR5 out one day

I have a 2003 era Honda sports bike. I actually love the spongy, less deadly feel of the rear brake. Stops me accidentally leaping on it and locking up the rear. I can still get stopping power out of it, but it feels safer to me than something more focused.

only thing i can say is i appreciate a nice looking bike and you certainly have one there very nice

that exhaust ! beauttifull !!

Still looks amazing.

It's a lovely bike mate, good choice on deciding to keep it. Can't answer the sight glass question - your guess is as good as mine! It's an interesting little detail though.

Why do you have 2 exhusts side and mid exhaust on this 😂
